    Looking for HVAC actuator door info

    Several years ago the shaft of the blend door on my HVAC box twisted off on my 04. I tried to epoxy it back together, but it's a pretty soft plastic and I don't think I got it clocked correctly as the A/C just doesn't blow as cold anymore and the heater blows pretty hot from even as low as 1/4...

    Anyone have a TechAuthority subscription?

    So this isn't Viper related, but my dad has a 2015 Challenger and has been having trouble with getting the puddle lights working in the doors for years now. I recently acquired AlfaOBD as a means to reset configuration values on his controllers to see if they somehow got disabled, but the more...

    Quietest 3" exhaust?

    So this will probably sound silly to a lot of people, but what's the quietest 3" exhaust out there? I recently swapped out my 2.5" Borla system for a 3" Mopar race system as my new cam didn't like the 2.5" setup all that much. I loved the tone of the Borla setup, which is why I went with the...

    Oil pressure rise time at start

    So I recently finished my rebuild after shattering a rod in my 04 at my last track outing and this time around I went full in on the oil system upgrades. I've got a gen 4 pan with swinging pickup, the Prefix oil pump upgrade (30% more flow), the gen 4/5 style PRV that Prefix also sells as a...

    Viper cracks top 10 at Goodwood FOS!

    I've always wanted to see a Viper run the Goodwood hill climb at full attack to see where it stacks up against other cars, and it seems it finally happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6YJi9ul_pY Would be interesting to see what a modern ACR-X or ACR Xtreme could do, but I'm sure the...

    Gen 3 oil PRV change?

    So I managed seize some rod bearings on my engine for the second time and this time lost a rod while I was at it. I've been going through the oil system from top to bottom to see what I can do to prevent this in the future and one thing I stumbled on that I can't seem to find any other data for...

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    So I have some whacky questions for the day. I just blew a rod on my 04 at the track yesterday and am surveying the damage and looking at my options to get things fixed. I had a few different ideas I'm chasing down and figured I'd throw some wild longshot questions out there while I was at it...

    Viper Showdown event in Indy

    Hello all, you may have seen an email come through a few weeks back about a Viper event coming up this year and it mentioned a site going live at some point for registration. I checked yesterday and the site is live, so anyone interested in attending please have a look and sign up...

    Caster setting relative to what?

    So I just acquired a set of the caster checking fixtures to be used with the DRB III and inclinometers, and one thing that came to mind is what exactly I want to use as a zero when measuring caster. The rake of the frame is going to affect caster angle relative to ground, but it would seem like...

    Gen 3/4 Stock amp

    Anyone out there have the stock amp that goes under the passenger seat for a gen 3/4 they'd be interested in selling? Would have thought these would be all over the place, but none of the salvage yards have answered me back yet and there are very few on Ebay and they seem to be at really...

    Anyone know stock speaker impedance?

    I recently got an RB1 radio unit and was thinking about going back to a more "stock" style setup on my audio system. My car was pretty much butchered when I bought it already, so there was nothing stock left in it. I've since swapped out pretty much everything that was in the car when I bought...

    Outside shoulder chunking during track weekend

    So I just got back from my yearly track weekend and was getting my car all cleaned up and reset for street duty, but noticed the outside shoulders of my front tires had several spots where they had "chunked" out. I'm a bit confused as to what might have caused this though, so wondering if...

    2 piece rotor ring cost and options

    Can anyone explain to me why rings for 2 piece rotors cost so much more than entire 1 piece rotors? I think I'm getting to the point of needing to replace mine and I've been looking at different options, but the costs just don't make sense. I really prefer the idea of 2 piece rings, but when...

    Factory fluid cross reference

    Maybe this could turn into a sticky on the forums or even move to the general section, but over the years I've been trying to figure out what all the factory fill fluids are for my gen 3 in the non-Mopar sense. The below list is what I've come up with based on what I've read over the years...

    What do you all use to scuff rotors?

    As the title suggests, what products/material/procedures/etc. do you all use to scuff up rotors on a brake pad change? I've read anything from emery cloth to scotch brite pads to wire wheels. Emery cloth seems like it would take forever and have to be done by hand. Wire wheels sound kind of...

    Track pads for street tires?

    I know this question has been asked a million times over the years, but in reading back over old threads I'm not sure the whole story was ever told. Pad compound is a large factor and several pads are frequently mentioned (Mintex, Brakeman, Hawk, etc.), but few to no people mention what tires...

    Looking for a part number (HVAC interior drain bulkhead)

    It was a nice day today so I decided to wash the car and generally clean everything up after winter and I noticed that the drain tube on my HVAC box in the interior was loose. Not a surprise since I know it has come loose before, but when I tried to plug it back into the tunnel it wouldn't...

    Possibly looking for 3" Mopar race mufflers

    I guess I should start this out by asking if anyone has ever seen a pair of the Borla 2.5" and Mopar 3" mufflers side by side. My understanding is the Mopar "street" exhaust was just the Borla kit without the tips. Is the 3" "race" exhaust the same general configuration with just larger inlet...

    TPMS Relearn issues

    So I recently finally acquired a real deal DRB III, but I seem to be having some issues getting my TPMS module reprogrammed. The long story is I bought a set of Dorman cloneable sensors because I had two sets of rims, so I cloned a full set for the extra rims. Recently my OEM ones finally gave...

    First dyno on rebuild

    So around this time last year I spun a rod bearing on a track weekend. I got the car home and started pulling it apart to get an idea of the full extent of the damages and got fairly lucky in that it seemed like the rod bearings were the worst of it. The crank was salvageable with a 0.010"...

    Any old Chrysler guys know Dan Marus?

    As the title suggests, wondering if there are any old Chrysler employees around here that might know Dan Marus. He was the project manager for many of the Chrysler service tools in the earlier days. Would love to get in touch with him to talk over some questions and issues I'm having with DRB...

    Back in the saddle again

    So after about 6 months of slowing rebuilding my engine I finally got it back on the road. A big thanks to Dan at Viper Specialty and Prefix for all the help and parts over the course of the build! Long story short, spun two rod bearings at a track weekend in June. Got the car home and torn...

    Amplifier Wiring Question

    So I've got a bit of a head scratcher that I'm trying to understand. When I bought my car, it had a huge 5 channel amp installed in the truck and I never really cared for it, so I removed it and went with a smaller amp under the passenger seat like a stock setup. I still ended up running a...

    Help with o-ring identification

    So I'm almost done putting my engine back together after the spun bearing, but I'm left scratching my head at one o-ring I can't figure out. I got a lower end gasket set from Roe Racing and the description says it includes: Thermostat Gasket, Rear Main Seal, Rear Main Gasket, Timing Cover...

    Valve stem seals

    I need some help. I've been going through an engine rebuild after a spun bearing and refreshing the wear parts while I'm there, but I've run into a big ball of confusion. I had a few valve guides that were worn out of spec and had a hard enough time finding replacements, but ended up hunting...
